Lapwing

The film follows Patience, who grapples with her controlling brother-in-law David, the leader of their isolated community. As tensions rise, David's mental state deteriorates following the community's failures, compounded by the passing of the Egyptian Act, which threatens the lives of outsiders.

When Patience becomes involved with an Egyptian family seeking refuge, she finds herself caught in a dangerous psychological conflict with David. The narrative explores themes of isolation, power dynamics, and the fight for autonomy in a repressive society.

With a cast that includes Emmett Scanlan, Sebastian de Souza, and Javed Khan, Lapwing offers a compelling look at a dark period in history through the lens of personal struggle and societal conflict.
